expansion of the Welcome Hotels
Jürgen von Massow, Chief Operating Officer of the Welcome Hotels, emphasizes the operational and strategic skills of Gilbert-Lichtenberg. The Welcome Hotels Wesel offer 103 rooms and suites, 12 conference rooms, two restaurants and a wellness area. The Welcome Hotel Dorf Münsterland in Legden has 131 rooms, suites and apartments, eight conference rooms and a multifunctional room for up to 1,400 people.
The hotel industry argues that higher wages are not possible because guests are not willing to pay more. Gilbert-Lichtenberg questions this perspective and emphasizes that long-term advantages could be reached by higher wages. Another problem is the ongoing employee rotation between hotels at the same location and the need to offer employees more than other industries.
He emphasizes that salary is essential as a basic structure and that other services such as surcharges or premiums cannot represent a substitute for low wages. The view that tips can be considered as appreciation is not acceptable for Gilbert-Lichtenberg because it does not replace any wages. He also calls the effects of Corona on the hotel industry, since decent wages might have kept staff in front of the crisis.
He demands investments in personnel before revenues are optimized to secure the long -term success of the industry, and criticizes the way of thinking that first revenues should follow and then investments follow what he considered incorrect.
